IELTS Review

I enrolled at the 9.0 Niner IELTS Review Center last month in preparation for the IELTS exam. My plan is to take the exam in December this year, then apply for Canada next year. So far, I have attended 2 sessions--final coaching and writing skills--and I was not disappointed!

In a span of 3 hours, the lecturer shared many useful tips to hone/fake your ability to ace the writing task. The owner, Ervin, even told us what test centers have the nicest/most generous examiners in Speaking category in the country.

I only have 2 months left to prepare. Tomorrow is my day off, maybe I can attend from 9am-4pm, depending on my mood. I still have other things to do. It's our monthsary tomorrow. Perhaps, I can just read the orange book and listen to the CD for listening tasks. Oh my, I have this love-hate relationship with procrastination.

LOVE IS ALL WE NEED

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Lots of bad news:

Earthquake in Negros. Tragic, scary, and a lot of people have died and others are still missing.

Death of the nicest anesthesiologist in our hospital. They said he died due to complication of cardiomegaly, i.e. enlargement of the heart. He's the only anesthesiologist who would attend to the nurse's call in the wee hours of the morning when the patients are in severe pain and needs immediate relief due to cancer.

I've been so hooked with this book, I finished reading it in 2 days:

Tina Fey made my day (pun not intended! Haha.)!  She's fun to read, really! Really? Like, I would laugh in practically every page of this book, from the first until the last page. I'm actually re-reading tonight.

Here are excerpts from this awesome book:
